ABSTRACT
The concentration of serum aluminum was measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry in 71 patients with intracranial tumors. The data were compared with those from a reference group of 15 healthy adult individuals. The serum concentrations of aluminum were significantly increased (p < 0.01) in patients with malignant gliomas and meningiomas. The concentrations of serum calcium, known as an antagonist of aluminum, were normal in the same patients.
